Castello's Restaurant & Catering

We read through a lot of Yelp reviews and decided to take a chance, and we are glad we stopped in. Located in a Holiday Inn, the restaurant was easy to find, has plenty of parking, and is accessible (no stairs). You can enter from the hotel and/or from the parking lot which is great for people like us who are not guests of the hotel.The tables and booths are a bit worn but are functional and clean. It was nice to see the place decorated for Halloween! We stopped in early on a Monday evening. No problem getting a table and the pleasant hostess seated us right away. Lisa stopped by to take our drink orders and gave us time to decide. She was great and checked in with us regularly during the meal. The hostess brought us hot breadsticks with real butter!We started with the Seared Tuna Carpaccio. It was cooked perfectly (rare) and was complemented nicely by the two sauces (red chili & yum sauce) as well as by the fresh shredded spinach. Great size for sharing! Salads came out next with house made dressings and fresh toppings. Lisa kept politely checking in with us without hovering.For dinner, hubby ordered the ribeye "rare plus" with a side of the sautéed spinach. The steak was 12-14oz and "cooked perfectly" - he ate every bite - and said the spinach was also excellent! My dinner, the Honey Dijon Salmon, had a nice glaze that flowed onto the rice and went well with the side of steamed broccoli with butter. The salmon was hot, fresh, and cooked thoroughly without being overdone.Lisa mentioned they do make some of the desserts in house (crème brule and the brownie - there might be others but my brain stopped after I heard brownie) so we decided on the Flaming Brownie. Lisa was busy with a few other tables but manager Jake stopped by, cleared our plates, chatted, and took our dessert order. Lisa came by with the brownie with 2 spoons, placed it on the table and used a mini-torch to light up the marshmallow! It was lovely and delicious - perfect size for sharing! With the relaxed, family environment, solid teamwork, and delicious meals, we would definitely dine here again when in the area!

The more I come here, the more I love the place! They have great specials every night of the week. So, it pays to eat local (Chicken Cheesesteak sandwich for 7 bucks)!! The sandwich is highway robbery and absolutely DELISH! So cheesy and made with fresh ingredients. I got a side salad for an extra 2 bucks. Why goto a fast food joint, when you can eat here and have much better food and amazing service. They have TVs in the bar area if there is a game you need to catch. My favorite is their pizza!

I always wait over 30 minutes for all orders. As a driver, customers don't tip, or unsure if this restaurant keeps, or gives to employees. Food is ok, definitely not worth the money, should be half of the cost

Wow! Visiting in town and Castello's was recommended by a local. Made a reservation through Yelp, and were pleasantly greeted and sat immediately. Started off with the House Red Blend Wine - very decent at a reasonable price, and the Whiskey Lobotomizer. Friday & Saturday nights feature a Prime Rib Special with your choice of cuts. Get it! You will not be disappointed. We also tried the Ribeye. Both were cooked perfectly as ordered. The chosen sides of broccoli and pasta Alfredo exceeded expectations. Finally a chef that knows how to season things just right! We ended with Tiramisu and the Flaming Brownie. Excellent. Will definitely be back.

I honestly just had the best fish I have ever had in my life!!!! I would have pictures but once I picked up my fork (no knife needed) I never set it back down. I had the blackened grouper and shrimp served over sweet onions and mushrooms. I honestly don't know how they did it. After the grouper you could eat the onions by themselves. The fish was flaky and tender and then having it on the sautéed onions and mushrooms was just, I can't even describe. I live 3 1/2 hours from here but just texted my wife that we are road-tripping when I have enough IHG points just to have fish. Literally blown away how good it is. 2nd time here and there is always a big crowd. 1st time in my life I actually asked the server to tell the chef it was one of the best meals I've ever had. FYI I set my fork down 3-4 times only to pick it up and scoop a few more mushrooms and onions. Didn't even mention the shrimp. Big sized and good as well. Saluti to Catello's!

Great food and service, good value for money. Had a couple of dishes come out a little cooler than I like but I like my food dangerous hot, so I know I'm picky in that area. Highly recommend!

Honestly blown away. Maybe my expectations were too low? Anyway I ordered take out, and it was ready within 30 minutes. Items I got were: house salad, seared tuna carpaccio, and seafood ravioli. Yes I eat a lot. The tuna tasted fresh and was seared to perfection. The seafood ravioli was covered in this slightly spicy, tasty, cheesy sauce, and the ravioli was not fishy at all. The salad was good too! Just not outstanding like the other two dishes. I will be back!

We arrived for breakfast and were told to sit anywhere. A young man brought coffee and my husband went to the small Buffett, I waited to order off the menu because I wanted bacon and toast, which were not available on the Buffett. After waiting 20 minutes and watching others walk in and be waited on,we were never acknowledged - it was not packed by any means and a couple of employees were walking around in their phone. We had vouchers provided by the Holiday Inn that this is located in, so after my husband ate a couple of bites of a waffle we laid the vouchers on the table and left. No one even acknowledged that- we did tell the woman working the front desk at the Holiday Inn- they pay some amount to provide the breakfast and we were told that we weren't the first to report the same issues. Shame considering we stay there annually when we attend Poplar Bluff Hero's fundraiser for St. Jude.

Drinks were good. Food came more than an hour late, I ordered a ribeye with a side of loaded mashed potatoes and my friend ordered the steak Gorgonzola with a salad. The steak was fine I asked for medium rare but I got VERY rare. There was way too much sauce in the Gorgonzola and hardly had any spinach. The bacon on my mashed potatoes tasted like dog food it was horrible! The Service was OK.

40 minute wait, one single refill in the whole stay, and food was something I could've made in my kitchen in 15. Honestly go pick up some McDonald's and you'll be happier. The restaurant was nice though.
